Speaking about what she’s hoping to move into, the Melbourne-based personal trainer explained it’s ‘more bikini’ – ‘The look of this federation is much more of a fresh off the beach bikini girl,’ she said
Speaking about what she’s hoping to move into, the Melbourne-based personal trainer explained it’s ‘more bikini’:
‘There are so many different federations, they’re all kind of different and they change slightly. The look of this federation is much more of a fresh off the beach bikini girl.
‘It’s not a different type of training, so much as a different approach. It’s fuller in the muscles [as a look].
‘By the time I got to the second round [of her recent competitions], I was maybe a little bit too bony and I think that was probably just my body responding to how quickly I approached training.
‘But yeah, it’s really about knowing your body. There are so many things to think about, but I love it. It’s such an exciting experiment for me.’
Frances explained that by the time she competed in October, she was probably ‘a little bit too bony and I think that was probably my body responding to how quickly I approached training’
However, she said she’s enjoying the whole experiment as she loves fitness and wanted to soak it all up
‘It’s really about knowing your body. There are so many things to think about, but I love it,’ she explained
Frances recently took to the stage at the Australian ICN Victorian State Titles competition, where she wore a two-piece outfit.
She competed in the ‘first timer’ bikini fitness model division, as well as the ‘sports model’ category.
Frances took home participation medals at both.
She said on Thursday: ‘I don’t know much about this part of the industry, fitness is something I’m totally obsessed with and I just want to know everything so I may as well soak it all up, do it myself’.

Speaking about the upcoming results of the same-sex marriage poll, the 26-year-old didn’t shy away from the fact that she and her father are on different sides of the fence:
‘Politics is one of those things,’ she told FEMAIL. ‘It’s hard to avoid when it comes to my family, but we love each other.
‘We will politely agree to disagree and I guess that’s the same with most families. You’re like: “I’ll give you the stink eye across the table, but that’s about it”.’
When asked about Tony and his sister, Christine Forster, disagreeing, Frances said: ‘Of course it’s set aside when we sit down. It’s all: “Hey”, “Hey”.’

Frances Abbott recently worked for the marriage equality campaign, which she said was ‘interesting’:
‘For me, it seems to obvious,’ she explained.
‘I don’t really understand why it’s a debate. It was great working with the equality campaign. Fingers crossed for the 15th, it’s just gonna happen. It’s time for change.’
The results will be announced on Wednesday 15 November.
